Real Simple today opened its second annual Real Simple Idea Home in Brooklyn, New York. This year’s home, a multi-level townhouse, showcases a functional family space full of inspiring ideas and shoppable products curated by notable interior designers, home organizers and Real Simple editors. The home is a first-to-market content and experiential franchise filled with the design and organizing expertise that Real Simple champions every day.
For the first time, its coverage includes smart code technology that directs readers to a cutting-edge 360° video tour of the home that allows everyone to experience the space. Also for the first time, the entire house is shoppable. The ability to buy more than 300 items on display in the Idea Home is just a mouse-click away via a Real Simple-branded online shopping experience.
The team of designers for the 2019 home include home renovators and DIY gurus John and Sherry Petersik of Young House Love; interior designer and famed blogger Anita Yokota; creative DIY blogger Mandi Gubler of Vintage Revivals; design and lifestyle blogger Shavonda Gardner; lifestyle designer and environmental curator Carmeon Hamilton; owner of Cortney Bishop Design, Cortney Bishop; experienced luxury interior designer Emilie Munroe; coastal-inspired designer from Tracery Interiors, Paige Sumblin Schnell; and NEAT Method’s Ashley Murphy and Molly Graves, who will mark their return to the home.
